Living With Cystic Fibrosis

What is a Private Patient Advocate? Do you need one?

Laura talks to Dr. Elena Borrelli who is a Doctor of Medical Science and a Board-Certified Patient Advocate who helps people and families with their health care journey. She practices in Shelby Township, Michigan. Dr. Borelli manages their healthcare as she tries to help them live their healthiest life. She focuses on people diagnosed with cancer and rare disorders.

Dr. Borrelli has worked in healthcare for over 25 years. Apart from her experiences in professional practice, she has encountered frustration and discrepancies while personally navigating the healthcare system. She has been the provider, the patient, the daughter, the sister, and the parent facing the overwhelming healthcare system; and left feeling alone and confused.

Her passion is to help patients navigate the chaotic healthcare system. No one should have to do it alone.

Getting a second opinion is often a good idea or enrolling in a clinical trial. Dr. Borelli research best management options for undiagnosed or chronic disease patients, as well related insurance/billing issues. Which we can all relate to!

Dr. Borelli can also assist if you’re admitted to a hospital or rehab facility, and she communicates with the healthcare team and helps reduce medical errors.
